Jowood released new screenshots of ArcaniA: Fall of Setarrif.
One man's bad game is another man's good game.
While many will disagree with the author, i will say that i am actually interested to get Arcania now. It was on my mind a while ago but i forgot all about it. Hopefully its a good game.
Just don't expect a top-tier premier RPG and hopefully you'll have fun with it - thanks for the comment!
As long as you don't expect a AAA top-tier RPG there's a lot of fun to be had in Arcania. It's a great game to play with headphones on, curtains closed and for extended play sessions - If you pick it up I hope you enjoy it!
But I expect AAA quality, and Arcania doesn't have that. Witcher 3 is undeniably better than Arcania, check ANY review and see, you are one of a billion to like Arcania better, but I don't take it from you, play what you will...
I could probably list 10 reasons why The Witcher 3 is better than every oher game ever made. But at the end of the day it will still only be an opinion and not objective fact.
You should do it! I'd love to read an article like that.. It's a really good game and there's a lot to love about TW3, but parts of it didn't quite click with me - thanks for commenting!
How can someone say, that a dense story is bad and straightforward story is good? I didn't even read the rest, he is just wrong.
I just didn't really know what was going on in TW3 and this comes from someone who has played the first 2 games (which had superior stories imho)The story was decent but the pacing was off and it was abit all over the place - thanks for commenting though!
The story was best of all the series IMHO, I can't believe someone can actually say, that dense story is a disdvantage, that game is huge, what did you expect, it's like saying, that you don't like your salary because it is too big... :facepalm:
Here are this week’s games and add-on deals on the Xbox Live Games Store. Discounts are valid on Xbox 360 now through 20 January 2014.
Still not good enough in my opinion. Compare this to the discounts on PS Plus and it becomes a bit of a joke. Come on MS...get your act together.
These deals are pretty good. As far as sales go, PS+ and Xbox Live have been on par. The "free" games are too hard to compare, as one is giving the game away free and clear to subscribers, and the other is offering it to you only while you are still a functioning/paying member of the service. Apples to oranges IMO. I've had both and am fine with either approach, just keep the good games coming.
That "rental" excuse is nonsense. First of all, I'd rather get Bioshock Infinite "as a rental" until my PS+ expires (2016 so far) than getting a 5 year old arcade game. I mean, let's be honest, for how long are you going to play a game like DmC? Sony gave away Sleeping Dogs last May, Xbox members are just getting it.
So, please, stop the "rental" nonsense
You still keep sleeping dogs on Xbox when your live subscription ends. Not with Sony. Therefore it's a paid rental service like Netflix.
@heavy,
Hey something is something dude. And as far as deals. PS+ has better free games but XBL has better games discounts, IMO and are both great services. Besides that free is free...you cant complain when its free.
All you saying PS+ is rental... so are you planning to drop xbox live gold? No... you're going to keep it, because almost LITERALLY everything on xbox is behind the Gold paywall. So stop acting like you're going to get it in, get games, then drop gold. You'll have gold just like all PS players will have +. What happens after you drop the service is pretty irrelevant.
And the stuff that you call 'rental' are FREE games. The ps+ discounts you get (like 75% off) stay with you even if you drop +. You don't lose ANYTHING you pay for. Only the free games.
Gamers claim they are so adamantly against DRM, so protective of their sacred right if ownership. Then ps plus comes along and suddenly the benefits are clear as day, and all principles are out the window.
So... Is playing games less fun if you don't own the games, or is it a-ok?
I hope ppl submit these articles more often.
I like looking at the sales.
Xbl have really good deals.
I don't Like the selection of games this time around. Keep giving us the sales Microsoft.
Did you not see the huge 2K deals last week? Every week isn't going to have something you want. I'll take both Darksiders, since I missed out on those earlier.
Nah I didn't to be fair. Well, there isn't anything there I would particularly buy, except maybe Darksiders 2
i picked up atv and arcania. been wanting both of those a while. the deals on xbl have been awesome lately. im running out of space.
sleeping dogs=free
shoot many robots=free
hitman absolution=7.49
atv reflex=4.99
arcania=7.00
sold deals
@septic
darksiders are great games. highly recommend
Wheel of Fortune...lolol i woudnt even download it for free.
the Puppeteer alone can pwn all this deal:

Both, kind of. It's like a mix of a few genres, a cross between Zelda and GOW mainly. It's a great game, the first is better in my eyes but you can't go wrong with either game really.
i agree the first is better. i actually preferred the gameplay in the second more but the story is much better and makes more sense in the first which as a result had me more invested in the character and world
They say don't look a gift horse in the mouth but these knackers need to go to the glue factory!
I don't care about free games. I pay for xbox live because the online service blows PSN away. Literally poops on it from a gargantuan height.
If all people care about is free games, then build a kick ass pc and download torrents.
HUGG Writes: There are many fantasy RPG games out there which range from the downright epic to the downright irritating, Arcania in particular falls into the ARGHHHH category.
Arcania: Fall Of Setariff was originally released on the PC and Xbox 360 by developers Spellbound Entertainment back in October 2011, it was a stand-alone expansion of the original game Arcania: Gothic 4 also on the PC. Now developers Black Forest Games have decided to bring both the original Arcania game and the Fall Of Setariff expansion out together on the same disc for both Xbox 360 and PS3 on May 31st.
